Hello everyone!I haven't done a tag post in a while, so today I'm doing the Ride or Die Make-up Tag. This tag was created by Jaclyn Hill on YouTube. Her rules are simple: "List your ride or die cosmetic products from each category (foundation, blush, mascara, lip products, etc.). If you could only take ONE from each category to a desert island, which would you choose?"

Here's a list of my ride or die cosmetics:

Remember my "beauty secret" post? In
this post I'm about to share another "secret"; aka the type of thing
that people do not understand when you tell them or think you are crazy, but
somehow I feel compelled to tell you, my readers, anyway! That's a mouthful!

I cleanse, rinse and towel dry my face and then I apply the undiluted ACV with a cotton ball. This step is crucial: I only leave the organic
apple cider vinegaron for
about2 minutes, then I
rinse it off with plenty of cool water. Do NOTleave it on for more than a couple of
minutes or it will burn your skin! However, it is completely safe to use for
one or two minutes two to three times a week.

Why I use it:

ACV works better than any other exfoliant I have ever tried and it does not
contain any nasty ingredients. It remove dead cells from the surface of
the skin and leaves the skin super soft and glowing. It also eliminates
any blemishes you might have; including pimples, blackheads and pigmentation.
Apple cider vinegar also prevents the formation of acne and blackheads.
And it also eliminates fine lines and wrinkles! I have been using
apple cider vinegar both internally andtopically,
for years now and Iabsolutely love
it. I mean, how can you not love this powerful gift from Mother Nature!

Do you think that using neat apple cider vinegar on my face is crazy?
Would you give it a try? Let me know in the comment section below!

I was playing around with one of my favourite palettes, the Professional Eyeshadow Palette from Active Cosmetics,and I really liked the end result. The lighting in not great and the eye make-up was much darker in person but I wanted to show you my Face Of The Day nonetheless. Here are some photos of yesterday's FOTD!

Today's post is a nails of the day; I haven't done a NOTD post in ages! As I told you in my year in review post, I stopped wearing nail polish for a few months but recently I started painting my nails again. This is what I'm currently wearing... 💅

Essence The Gel Nail Polish (14) do you speak love?

First I applied Essence's The Gel Nail Polish Base Coat, then I applied one coat of(14)do you speak love?. This is the perfect colour for February; the month of Valentine's Day! Lastly, I finished witha coat of The Gel Nail Polish Top Coat to protect, seal, and provide long-lasting shine. You can read my review of Essence The Gel Nail Polish, here.
